I mostly collect Winchester Model 12, 42, 70 and am a diehard all original kind of guy. I've always wanted a Parker 20 ga with open chokes. I am fortunate enough to know the Bachelder's personally and grew up going into the shop with my Dad. I've seen first hand what Brad can do with a Parker, give it a new lease on life and truly "restore" it to it's original glory. I wouldn't be making any money off the restoration but would likely break even if I was in a bind and had to sell. If I use it for 20-30 years, will it "need" a restoration? I don't know.
On the other hand I could leave it alone, have less into it and enjoy it just as much. This is my dilemma, I appreciate the opinions and comments.
